Instructions for Initial Post

Read over this interesting blog post, where an ANOVA test was performed using M&M candies: M&M ANOVALinks to an external site.

In your initial post, due by 11:59pm EST on Day 4, give your interpretation of the procedure that was performed here.

Were the assumptions needed to perform an ANOVA test reasonably fulfilled here?

Were the results of the test what you expected?

Did any one color of M&M appear more often than others?

In addition, find another instance where an ANOVA test was performed, and compare that test to the M&M test linked here. Be sure to focus on whether the test was valid, and compare the conclusions of that test to the M&M test. Be sure to properly cite the other ANOVA test you found, using proper APA formatting.
